This PRIZM group is characterized by being middle income in the suburbs of major metro areas. Their incomes hover right about the U.S. average. In other ways the four clusters in this social group are very different from one another.

Two clusters are young, one old, the other mixed ages. But each of the four clusters has a distinct employment pattern, lifestyle and geographic location.
